Osdorfer Born

Born Park (German: Bornpark) is public park in Osdorf, Hamburg, Germany. Located around Lake Helmuth Schack and the streams of Düpenau and Luruper Moorgraben, it is used as a recreational area mainly by the inhabitants of Osdorf, Osdorfer Born and nearby Schenefeld in Schleswig-Holstein. The park extends to an area of 13.4 hectares (33 acres).

Luruper Moorgraben (Lurup Bog Ditch) is a small stream in Osdorf, Hamburg, Germany, partially marking the boundaries of Lurup, Hamburg, after which it is named. It comes to the surface near the street of Knüllkamp in Osdorf. Nearby, from the right, the small stream of Müllergraben flows into Luruper Moorgraben. It then crosses the street of Bornheide, the main road of Osdorfer Born. Finally it flows into Lake Helmuth Schack in the recreational area of Born Park.

Osdorf (German language: pronounced German: [ ˈɔːsdɔrf] (listen)) is a quarter in the city of Hamburg, Germany. It belongs to the Altona borough. In 2020 the population was 26,420.

The European X-Ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (European XFEL) is an X-ray research laser facility commissioned during 2017. The first laser pulses were produced in May 2017 and the facility started user operation in September 2017. The international project with twelve participating countries; nine shareholders at the time of commissioning (Denmark, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Russia, Slovakia, Sweden and Switzerland), later joined by three other partners (Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom), is located in the German federal states of Hamburg and Schleswig-Holstein. A free-electron laser generates high-intensity electromagnetic radiation by accelerating electrons to relativistic speeds and directing them through special magnetic structures. The European XFEL is constructed such that the electrons produce X-ray light in synchronisation, resulting in high-intensity X-ray pulses with the properties of laser light and at intensities much brighter than those produced by conventional synchrotron light sources.

Netzwelt (own writing: netzwelt) is a technology-related news website run by Netzwelt GmbH. The two founders, Dirk and Sascha Hottes, founded Netzwelt in early 1999 in Darmstadt. The site, which bills itself as "Guter Rat auf einen Klick" (Good advice at a click), features consumer electronics and software, as well as user-generated content in a popular forum. With up to 4,8 million visitors and 18 million page impressions, Netzwelt is one of the top five IT websites in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

The Loki-Schmidt-Garten, also known as Botanischer Garten Hamburg, or, more formally, as Botanischer Garten der Universität Hamburg or Biozentrum Klein Flottbek und Botanischer Garten, is a botanical garden maintained by the University of Hamburg. It has a size of around 25 hectares and is located at Ohnhorststrasse 18, Hamburg, Germany, beside the Klein Flottbek station in the Osdorf quarter, and open daily without charge. It was renamed in 2012 after Loki Schmidt, the wife of the former German chancellor Helmut Schmidt. Though it was renamed, the old name coexists with the new one. Nearby Klein Flottbek station still has the second name "Botanischer Garten".

Hochkamp (German pronunciation: [ˈhoːxkamp]) railway station is on the Altona-Blankenese line and served by the city trains, located in Hamburg, Germany. The rapid transit trains of the line S1 and the line S11 of the Hamburg S-Bahn calls the station in the quarter Nienstedten of the Altona borough in Hamburg. Right along the railway tracks is the border to the quarter Osdorf.

Iserbrook is a district in the borough of Altona within the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg in North Germany. In 2020 its population was 11,352. Iserbrook belongs to the Elbvororte (suburbs that are near the river Elbe).

Schenefeld is a town in the district of Pinneberg, in Schleswig-Holstein, Germany. It is situated at the northwest border of Hamburg. A 3.4 km tunnel between the town and the DESY research centre in Hamburg houses the European X-ray free-electron laser, with the research campus for the facility also located in Schenefeld.Melanie Diener, a German operatic and concert soprano, was born in Schenefeld.

The Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (English German Electron Synchrotron) commonly referred to by the abbreviation DESY, is a national research center in Germany that operates particle accelerators used to investigate the structure of matter. It conducts a broad spectrum of inter-disciplinary scientific research in three main areas: particle and high energy physics; photon science; and the development, construction and operation of particle accelerators. Its name refers to its first project, an electron synchrotron. DESY is publicly financed by the Federal Republic of Germany, the States of Germany, and the German Research Foundation (DFG). DESY is a member of the Helmholtz Association and operates at sites in Hamburg and Zeuthen.

The particle accelerator DESY (acronym for Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron or German Electron Synchrotron) was the first particle accelerator of the DESY research centre in Hamburg and the one that gave the research centre its name. The DESY synchrotron was used for research in particle physics from 1964 to 1978 and served as a pre-accelerator for other accelerator facilities at DESY.Construction of the synchrotron started in 1960. With a circumference of 300 m, it was the world's largest facility of its kind in the world and accelerated electrons to 7.4 GeV. The first electrons circulated in the acceleration on 25 February 1964, and research activities into elementary particles at the DESY synchrotron started in May 1964. In the experiments carried out at DESY, the electron beams were directed at fixed targets.
